Tim didn't believe me that there was a broody guinea. So yesterday I literally tripped over these day olds with their mommy in the grass, thank god no one was squished, so when Tim got in from haying I told him "Come here, I wanna show you something...*winkwink*" and led him behind the barn, which he took to mean hay rolling was in the works... then I just pointed at the whole stinkin mess of keets (at least 14 but they dont sit still so I'm not sure) and walked away. he was less then happy
Yeah, but since they are the WORST mothers, you won't have 14+ for long. You'll do good to get 1 alive if you let the guinea raise them. They don't PLAN to be crappy parents, they just are so freaking stupid they are.
I'm surprised, she's attentive, if one gets behind she stops and waits for it, and one of my males jumped in and is fathering the crap out of them. I know guineas are awful parents, so I was surprised to see how good the pair are doign with the babies.
